2017 IS THE YEAR OF GAMES

It might have paved the way for other first-person games that lessened the emphasis on combat (it was a baby step in that direction, I think)

I thought Wolf was pretty good but I do think Doom blows it out of the water. That said, Woof does a really great job with the tone of the bizarre storyline and that’s super cool.

The sequel should be great but Original Sin 2 is the most exciting thing coming this year

was there any other game in 2017 that felt technically as rewarding and outright good as Nier2 did?
because it sure did feel so.

Neu Wolf’s greatest achievement is it showed how to properly tell a politically charged narrative in a triple-a game KEN LEVINE

I didn’t really find Nier 2 that technically rewarding as a player but in terms of actual Tech I’m sure there’s alot of good stuff going on. Narratively and thematically it was an amazing thing to experience even if i was more into it for seeing the aftermath of Nier 1. The Androids and machines were kind of a B plot for me.

I’m kinda digging Absolver even though the button pushing part feels a bit mushy and muddled. I really dig what it’s trying to do at least.

For myself and a shrug and maybe others of our mindset, he really is almost a Mary Sue frankly. He’s like perfectly built for me to love him to death. Is this how people feel about anime waifus? I think I understand anime waifus now.

had a great time with nier 2, p5 (not perfect but the first persona i’ve managed to finish), yakuza 0, resident evil 7 and destiny 2

that’s a pretty good year and divinity 2 isn’t even out yet

i appreciate how much love went into sonic mania but i played each of the megadrive games for several hundred hours when i was a babby

oh yeah RE7

I keep forgetting about RE7

I’ve had a pretty high tolerance for spoopy stuff lately but I’m just not that enthusiastic about it

I keep forgetting Nioh, Gravity daze 2 , The silver Case, Obduction, Absolver, Blaster master Zero, Dang’ol 3, Cave Story + Now with Co-Op, Windjammers, Samsho 6, etc etc

And I keep debating whether I would play enough PUBG to justify the price.

And that doesn’t even include anything from previous years I had on my stack.

If it influences you at all Booji and I played PT and had to quit because it was too scary and followed it with RE7 which we stopped after about two hours because we looked at each other and were both bored.

I am glad I still have PT yeah

PPT

I think Resident Evil 7 is honestly quite incredible, but it’s also not interesting at the same time. It’s a weird thing.

just realized now that someome must have pitched PPT with a slideshow called PPT.ppt

… right?

splatoon 2 goty goty boy

I’m saving a spot for The Evil Within 2 inside my own personal 2017 VIP lounge. It will rub elbows with P5, Automata, Mania, etc.

splatoon 2 is cheating

Buy a Switch. You’ll probably buy a new computer someday. All the good PS4 games will be on it aside from Bloodborne. The Nintendo games probably won’t be. No, emulation doesn’t count. Plus portability is good.

if the premise can even live up to 1% of the hype, then i’ll be moaning about the lost chance to play something great. because it is too good to be coming over here…
